Capricorn horoscope prediction: February 2013

Jessica Adams, Cosmo's psychic astrologer reveals what the stars have in store for Capricorn in February 2013…

The new money and property rules are simple. If you had a hangover from the often intoxicating (but frequently hazy) years from 1998 through 2011 then it's over now. Reality set in over the last 12 months giving you a chance to reframe the picture. Now you have a new frame, it's time to create something different.

From February's New Moon you will be able to see clearly, navigate with certainty and deal with people, organisations and situations with firm boundaries. This will make an incredible difference, and in the final week, Diana moves into the zone of your chart that rules the money, house, charity, business, flat or possessions. Suddenly you are looking at quite a different way of evaluation life. It revolves around the price you are prepared to pay for total freedom or independence – or perhaps the price tag others want to apply. This situation will not change all year.

In fact, it will only become more interesting. You may not have noticed the shift with your finances and lifestyle (dating from February 2012) quite as much as you do now. The reason for this is that Neptune left Aquarius a long time ago, but you had no major patterns in Aquarius to ring the changes. The arrival of not only Diana but also Juno and Minerva in this remarkable sign will achieve that for you, no later than March.

For the first time in years the goggles are off, the numbers are readable and you can put your feet on the ground. Next step? One of the most intelligent ways yet of deciding who and what is the new 'priceless' in your life. You will also be able to look at a thoughtful new way of choosing what (if anything) you are prepared to sell out for.

COMMUNICATION NAVIGATION ISSUES

Common-sense advice for anyone in these days of hackers and trolls, but crucial advice for a Capricorn living with Neptune in her Third House – don't leave any part of yourself or your life wide open. Don't trust to luck as this is a long-running cycle and something or someone which sneaks inside your internet, computer or telephone world by April could linger longer.

The Third House of your chart also rules the media so if there is any reason why journalists, photographers or editors would want to drift into your space then make sure you have moats, walls, boundaries and barriers. Mercury is shadow, then retrograde, also in your communication zone in February through April 6th. Even as the month begins, you could easily be fooled into assuming some process in motion (probably involving the phone, your voice, your words or your computer) is straightforward. History and astrology tell us this is unlikely and you would be crazy to invest in a new computer, phone, ISP or website (for example) while this famously flakey cycle is underway. If you must go ahead before April read the fine print on the terms and conditions.

This is an easy cycle to manage if you remember the retrograde rules. What is in motion from the first week of February could then go backwards, or change shape twice, by April. Life becomes even more openly chaotic from the final week of February when Mercury-ruled areas of your world (printers, e-mails, travel plans, vehicles, phones, the postal service, your voice, verbal promises, paperwork) are vulnerable to complication.

One of the issues you need to look at is the way (since February last year) the most subtle situation has crept up on you like the tide creeping up on the sand. Along the way, something has washed away, in terms of the way you are heard, read and understood. The issue may be online or in the real world but the forthcoming Sun-Neptune conjunction near Thursday 21st February will help you address it.
